Is monogamy dead?

We're talking about the importance of financial freedom - especially for women - and the need for financial literacy and access to the bank. Mel and I share experiences of losing an income and how we have overcome these periods, as well as how we prioritise savings and how we live to achieve that. Financial abuse is also mentioned in this episode. 1/6 women in Australia have experienced financial abuse in their lifetime.

Mel shares how she got through her divorce and reminds us who and what we put our energy into is everything.

Talking about the realities of dating, using the dating apps, and finding the right partner for you - not what society tells you is right. This includes dating someone with a child, moving in together quickly, and more. Being single, using dating apps, dating in a new city, adopting dogs, giving up hope and then getting it back again.

I'm sharing with you one of my newest side hustles - walking dogs down the aisle at their human parents' weddings! Mel is on this episode sharing with us the experience she's having as her oldest moves out of the home - how at times it's scary and lonely, and at others it's peaceful as she orders Uber Eats for one. Kids moving out of the house is not an easy transition, let alone for a single mum.
